I bought all the ingredients and went to the kitchen to begin assembling this dessert and then realize you never incorporated the eggs or cream in the recipe. Could you please update that? I’m assuming I’ll mix them and throw them in as Step 2.

I am sure you get this a lot, so sorry in advance: which size crock pot do you use for this recipe? I am thinking about using a larger sized crockpot and am wondering if I should double the recipe? Thanks! Looks great!

Vicki, if you double the recipe you will want to use the larger slow cooker. If it is a 6 – 6 1/2 quart slow cooker it will work fine if doubled. Rule of thumb a slow cooker should be 1/2 to 2/3 full to crock properly. ENJOY!

Hi ~ Thank you for sharing this recipe! I made it tonight and it was delicious I didn’t have enough 1/2 and 1/2, so used a can of evaporated milk + 1/4 cup of 1/2 and 1/2, and used an oatmeal brown bread (from the bakery) instead, as well as almonds instead of pecans — I used what I had on hand and it came out great! Love doing this in the crock pot. Thanx again!

Hi Jess! Thank you for your question! Brioche is a lovely, buttery French bread that works well in this dish. If you are having trouble finding it, try an Italian loaf to substitute, or even a hearty multi-grain. Happy Crocking!

I’M MAKING THIS FOR THANKSGIVING TOMORROW, hope I can get an answer very soon! If you double the recipe and use the larger crockpot, how do you know how much time to increase the cooking? Also, now I’m concerned about the bananas turning gray like the last post said! ugg.

I should have been more prepared, but didn’t realize I didn’t know about adding more cooking time or not. I’m making something else for Thanksgiving, but would still like to have answers to my question, AND any other comments about the bananas turning gray??

If I were to prepare this the night before, so I can just wake up and then it on, should I keep the liquid sperate until cooking? Or do you think it might be good to let it soak all night before I plug it in? Any experience or thoughts?
